Sass Global Travel Ski and Snowboard camp has officially begun. Well, it actually started about a week ago, but I haven't had the time or energy to write much as we have been hiking and riding everyday. While I absolutely love summer and I especially love summers in Tahoe, every year when I...
After traveling for over 60 hours, we finally made it to Argentina! While we were both exhausted and stiff from traveling, the site of fresh powder got us stoked.
There are ten coaches down here for the SGT ski and snowboard camp this year and we pretty much had this run to ourselves. In about...
On the third day, Danny and I woke up with sore feet from the previous days backpacking. We knew we had another 14 or so miles to go and as I was putting my shoes on I was getting excited thinking about completing our adventure. The third day was probably my favorite of all the days. The last...
On day two we started off our day at the top of North Dome. For the most part, hiking in the woods, we didn't see too many people, but as you get closer to the lookouts there are quite a few tourists hanging out.
Personally, I prefer cruising through the woods without people. Danny and I mapped...
Before I packed my bags to head south chasing winter, I wanted to make a quick trip to Yosemite. Danny and I arrived in hopes of hiking Half Dome, but due to the new permits required to hike Half Dome we got shut down.
We decided on hiking the North Rim Trail, which we figured would have some...
Something I haven’t done in a long time, stop to smell the roses. A friend of mine suggested that I stop and smell the roses while travelling this spring through the month of terrain park shoots. Something I used to do on a regular basis, everywhere I went, I showed up late since I had a hard...
"Set Your Sights" Official Trailer from Toy Soldier Productions on Vimeo.
While there is still quite a bit of snow on the ground in Tahoe, the spring flowers are starting to go off and Shirley Canyon's water falls are bigger than I have ever seen them (note: the picture above doesn't do the falls justice at all). I thought I would share a few shots from the other day...
After the review of the Clik Elite Contrejour ?camera backpack, this review of the Clik Elite ClikSit is going to be a lot less in depth. In fact it’s going to be real short. This is one of those products though that when you pull it out everyone around seems to give you a WTF type of jealous...
If you’ve seen my reviews before you know that I don’t really review a product unless I really like it, or really hate it. Before you go on you should know I’m partially biased since I’m sponsored by Clik Elite. So that being said take it for what it’s worth but I’ve been using the production...

While I've already posted the video for the Cushing Crossing below, I thought I would share some photos as well. Being a participant, I definitely didn't shoot these. So thanks to Danny and Dave for the shots!
Above is the junk-show that ensued when the Mario Party dropped in all together. All...
When Danny and I returned from Northern California, we went on a full moon hike with his brother Conor. We came across this tiny little scorpion in the night and since then I've been stumped on what type of scorpion it is. I didn't even know we had scorpions in Lake Tahoe and when I google...
To top off our trip to Northern California and after no luck finding Big Foot, Danny and I headed south to Fort Bragg. We drove through in infamous 315 foot tall Chandelier Tree with a hole just barely big enough to fit my truck through. The lady at the gate confidently said that I would be...
Switching gears back into summer mode from that last post. Spent last weekend in Zion being a desert rat with a couple buddies. I'll let one of them do the talking, since they already did a good post on their channels, so click here for the full read or just enjoy the video below...
This year was the first year that I participated in the annual Cushing Crossing at Squaw Valley. The crowd was huge, the sun was hot, and the spirit of the 4th was in the air. I dressed as Mario and attempted to cross the pond with the rest of our Mario Party crew, but got caught up as Bowser...
As long as I’ve been working with Level 1 Productions it’s one of the covers that have eluded me through the years. We have been working together since near the start of my career so finally getting it now is something I’m pretty excited about. My shot of Alex Bellemarre in Edmonton, Alberta...
